Chardonnay & Lobster Dinner - Aug 01, 2015

Come join us at our 7th annual Chardonnay and Lobster Dinner held here in the cellar at our winery.

This wildly popular event sells out very quickly, so plan now to join us for a casual evening of lobster, sausage, corn, bread and more served in traditional East Coast style…..which means knives and forks are not allowed and bibs are highly suggested (and supplied)! We’ll pour our limited production Chardonnay, along with our Pinots and Zin too!

Warning: Every year we have people disappointed that they cannot get in - if you want to come - do purchase your tickets now!
